Let's see: speech note during the build process downloads a lot of
external programs. You can generate a list unpacking the speechnote
source and running:
  grep 'source_url ' dsnote-4.6.1/cmake/*.cmake
  grep url: dsnote-4.6.1/flatpak/python3-modules-x86-64.yaml
In such list there are (mostly python modules) prebuild binaries.
Is is my understanding that using prebuild binaries is a NO GO in obs.
I did try as much as possible to use system libraries, but while such
effort was productive with C sources, it was a total disaster for
the python modules, due to different version requirements.
At the end, the list of extra sources was considerable.
I packed such external downloads in sources.tar and pythonmodules.tar
so it is not necessary to download them during the build process.
If pmbs allow downloads (I have not checked if it does), then it would
be possible to reduce considerably the size of src.rpm.
There are non free sources (mbrola) too. Also ffmpeg needs to be
build from source because of a required patch. When configured it uses
the option --enable-nonfree.

I think this should answer your question.
